Sharing stories about just how or when or what came to mind that led you to make your decision about selecting PSU might be nice to here.

Was it your decision alone?

Did you follow your brother or sister?

Were you recruited to play a sport by Penn State?

Was their a family tradition to do so?

Did somebody help guide - school advisor wise to check out dear old state?

Or were you just drunk out of your mind and said: "Oh what the hell! PSU looks good!"

Perhaps you followed a girlfriend or boyfriend to dear old state.

Do tell please.

Thank you!

Much like in the case of the PSU 3, the critical evidence supporting AG Kane's perjury charges is of questionable origin.

The PA Corruption Network's Playbook, (December 29, 2015) outlined how corrupt prosecutors use dubious evidence to make cases against targets.

For the PSU 3, it was emails of dubious provenance that provided the (alleged) evidence of perjury and other crimes.




Ferman's smoking gun will be undone

For Pennsylvania Attorney General (AG) Kane, it was an oath of similarly dubious provenance that is now being portrayed by the Corruption Network as the smoking gun evidence against Kane.

Let's rewind the clock and see how that went down.

I lived in Tener Hall as a Freshman, and McKean as a soph and junior. So basically I was an East Halls dorm rat for all but my senior year, when I lived in Laurel Glen and the scurvy bastards took my $400 security deposit into bankruptcy with them in the Spring. Of course, given the damage we may have ( I am having a Mark Dambly moment) done to the apartment, perhaps that security deposit was a goner anyway.

So, fess up: were you a dorm rat, a Greek, or a Mary Tyler-Moore wannbe apt dweller?

Nolf and Nickal's head snaps are borderline assault!! I can't remember which Nickal match it was, but you could clearly hear him snapping some skull! Nolf almost snapped IMar's forehead into the mat several times. Fun to watch, brutal to wrestle!

"Where’s the decision that we’re going to make that’s based on the Freeh report?" asks Mr. Barron, Penn State’s president. "It’s hard to see that there is one."

So President Barron, were you lying when you said you were going to review the Freeh report, or were you lying about it when you said this?

I've been watching you, not rushing to judgment on my decision to trust you or not. Some will say I'm slow, but I prefer to be certain before I write somebody off. Now I'm certain.

Scary story. Sometimes forget what these players go through and how the game affects their health. Only 36. Makes you wonder if there will be a time when football is considered too dangerous. http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/1...antwaan-randle-el-wishes-chosen-play-football

In a nut shell:
Pros: Anecdotal evidence of less incidence of asthma and other diseases among children and adults.
Cons: Dangerous pathogens can cause serious health impact.

Both sides claim factual evidence supporting their positions, including doctors. Do any of you use raw milk and feed it to your children? Yes or no, why?

Accuweather indicates a coastal storm with up to a foot from D.C. to Philly.

Wow.....this makes me fell old...I'm 51

to risk "admonishment," censure, even expulsion from the BoT by standing up in open session and being honest about what's really going on?
Hell, anyone who did that would be a hero and would galvanize the alumni to rally to their support. I believe that Larry Schultz will do that. Larry is a noun - not an adverb.

The Spymasters-CIA in the Crosshairs; excellent film interviewing the last 12 living CIA Directors and current state of affairs. Excellent

The Seven Five - The story of the NYPD 75th precinct and the corrupt officers who worked there in the late 80's through the 90's. Focusing on two of the officers and their criminal enterprise. Really captivating.

Both well worth watching if you find the time. Would enjoy reading what you think.

We cut our own tree every year and put it up a week before Christmas. It stays up until the end of January and, because it was so fresh, generally has good needle retention. Right now it is glowing and warming my heart.

See the link below.

"When Nebraska head coach Tom Osborne reinstated tailback Lawrence Phillips from a multi-game suspension in 1995 after Phillips had attacked his girlfriend, many writers (including me) protested with self-righteous fervor. The reinstatement seemed facile, especially as the Huskers drove to repeat as national champions. Osborne never wavered. He took the step because he thought football was the only chance that Phillips had to escape his demons. It didn’t work. Phillips flushed himself out of the NFL and landed in prison, where he died this week at 40. The more we learned about Phillips, the more I understood why Osborne didn’t take the easy way out."

What a load of crap.

When Stewart Neff was hired at Penn State on Jan. 10, 1966, a gallon of gas cost 32 cents, Neil Armstrong had yet to walk on the moon, the Super Bowl didn’t exist, and Rip Engle was Penn State’s head football coach.

Thank you, officer.

Making a Murderer hits Today show.

....which so many of you wanted to happen in Joes last years. Part of Alabama's sucessful plan (and I believe the most important part) is over sgning and cutting players through transfers. This circumvents the 85 scholarship limit impact on a level playing field. The Alabama staff has taken the PR step of talking with the kids they recruited which failed to reach their expectations and 'doing them the favor' of advising them and helping them find a place where they get playing time. That way we get to bring in 27 or 28 a year effectively cut the 108 to 112 we look at down to the 85 best we recruited. Optimizing our chance of fielding a professional team.

Coaches come and go....they move to other places where they step into predestined success by the circumstances alredy im play thereand PSU get's to report....look how are developing coaches.

Now the next steps are....offer 300+ kids rather than 100....hire a couple dozen consultants like Haslett (our pilot consultant) to evaluate the 300+ to whittle the hoard down to 27 - 28 offers and we are on our way to changing the div 1 landscape from the big 1/and the rest to the big 2 and the rest.

Oh, I forgot 2 important things. Hire our own media mouthpieces and retire David (the Morbid Jones) and redefine how nonqualifiers qualify.

Then someday soon we can watch our players hold up the mythical NC trophy looking as unenthusiastic and bored as the professionals I watched do it the other evening after the Temple game.

Ahh God bless the NCAA and Mr Emmert for allowing these options be available to us we can rebuild quickly....and for Bama for showing us the way.
